The inside story of how Downtown’s La Viennoise building was transformed into Sarwa Capital’s new headquarters

Go inside Downtown Cairo’s La Viennoise building, now the city’s coolest office space: It took a small village of architects and urban designers with a keen eye for historic architecture and modern design to turn a shell into one of Cairo’s coolest and most desirable offices. The brains behind the passion project, a venture of Al Ismaelia Real Estate Development’s, talk in this short about the journey that brought to life the iconic Downtown building that now houses the headquarters of our friends at Sarwa Capital (watch, runtime: 3:26). If you had been thinking about a securitized debt issuance, now might be the time to ask Hazem Moussa and his gang to invite you over for coffee… Translation: Enterprise has serious office envy.
